1944 Map of West Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The West Bay settlement and its surrounding wetlands are documented here in the early 1940s, showing a landscape defined by its intricate drainage into the larger bay. The northern reaches of the map are dominated by numerous named branches, including Pigeon Creek, Crooked Creek, and the curiously named Big Lily Belt, which feed into the coastal marsh system. This era's infrastructure is highlighted by the prominent path of the Intracoastal Waterway, which cuts through the southern landmass near Double Bayou.
